Chris Cornell covers Whitney Houston 'I Will Always Love You' - video

Chris Cornell paid tribute to the late Whitney Houston by covering her hit single 'I Will Always Love You' at a recent concert.

The Soundgarden frontman headlined a fundraising event for US President Barack Obama in San Francisco over the weekend, but strayed from his political message to honor Houston by playing one of her classic hits.

Cornell admitted he was slightly nervous to debut his version of 'I Will Always Love You', even cautioning the crowd: "I just learned this, so when I mess it up, forgive me."
